Raman spectra of lithium niobate single crystals strongly doped by zinc and magnesium, it has been established, contain low-intense bands with frequencies 209, 230, 298, 694, and 880 cm−1.Ab ignition calculations fail to attribute these bands to fundamental vibrations of A2 symmetry type unambiguously.Such vibrations are prohibited by the sel
Mosquito Surveillance and Polymerase Chain Reaction Detection of West Nile Virus, New York State
West Nile (WN) virus was detected in the metropolitan New York City (NYC) area during the summer and fall of 1999.Sixty-two human cases, 7 fatal, were documented.The New York State Department Developer and Photoconductor Unit Pack of Health initiated a departmental effort to implement a statewide mosquito and virus surveillance system.During the 20
Cross-vendor programming abstraction for diverse heterogeneous platforms
Hardware specialization is a well-known means to significantly improve the performance and energy efficiency of various application domains.Modern Display Case computing systems consist of multiple specialized processing devices which need to collaborate with each other to execute common tasks.New heterogeneous programming abstractions have been cr
Magneto-Bioconvection Flow of Williamson Nanofluid over an Inclined Plate with Gyrotactic Microorganisms and Entropy Generation
The fluid flow through inclined plates has several applications in magneto-aerodynamics, materials processing and magnetohydrodynamic propulsion thermo-fluid dynamics.Inspired by these applications, the rate of entropy production in a bio-convective flow of a magnetohydrodynamic Williamson nanoliquid over an inclined convectively heated stretchy pl
